"Global Horn?"
Scar Dog finally reacted, his expression twisting strangely. "What kind of item is this? That voice just now must have echoed in everyone's ears, right? After all, the prefix was 'Global Horn.'"
"It's a two-star item. I wonder if it's worth much."
"If it's cheap, we should get a whole bunch of Global Horns. When the hundred races go to war, we could loop demonic remixes day and night. That'd count as a Noise Attack, right?"
"Or we could launch a Cultural Invasion. Blast Guo Degang's crosstalk or something equally absurd. Imagine alien races getting distracted by his jokes during battle and..."
"What do you think, Brother Jiang? This seems like it has potential."
"There'll probably be some limitations."
Chen Jiang searched the human race merit points shop but couldn't find the Global Horn item for sale.
There was only a human race horn item available.
[Item Name]: Human Race Horn
[Item Tier]: One-Star Item
[Item Effect]: Allows your voice to be heard simultaneously by all humans. Limited to 200 characters!
[Item Description]: A somewhat situational item—sometimes useless, sometimes invaluable.
[Item Price]: 300 merit points.
Well, if I can't even reply, then let's settle this with action.
Chen Jiang slammed on the brakes, bringing the armored vehicle to a screeching halt. The turret mounted on the roof slowly rotated, its cannon aiming at the residential district on the outskirts of City 18.
"Since words won't work, let's see what action can achieve."
In the next moment—
Red veins instantly lit up on the cannon's barrel, spreading across the silver-white surface like capillaries expanding.
The deep blue, viscous liquid in the energy cartridge at the turret's rear began to flow.
Then, a blinding white flash erupted from the muzzle.
BOOM!!!
A deep blue energy shell, trailing a crimson tail, arced gracefully through the air before slamming into the residential district on the outskirts of City 18.
A single shell sent smoke billowing over City 18 once more.
But this was only the beginning.
This initial barrage acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the entire turret.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Shells rained down like celestial hailstones, engulfing the nearby residential district.
Boom!
The abandoned factory collapsed instantly under the shockwave from a direct hit.
A ten-story residential building was struck mid-section by a shell, its structure nearly severed in half, like a chocolate bar bitten by a child.
The entire building swayed precariously, resembling a girl who had dieted to an extreme, her waist dangerously thin. Screams erupted from within as it teetered on the verge of collapse.
But before the building could collapse on its own, another barrage of shells struck, shattering the structure into multiple segments that crashed heavily to the ground.
The entire ground vibrated with a low hum, and a cloud of dust billowed into the air.
A sudden attack.
The residential district, where residents had been angrily denouncing the human race player who attacked the mechanical race from City 18, instantly descended into chaos.
Ear-splitting screech of brakes.
Piercing screams.
Desperate cries for help.
Deafening explosions.
Oppressive wail of sirens.
The entire residential district of City 18 erupted into pandemonium, leaving no chance for an organized counterattack.
Humans scream in fear of their enemies, but turrets do not cease firing out of fear.
Armor-piercing bullets with a caliber of 110cm rained down at a rate of 2,900 rounds per minute, subjecting the area to a strategic-level saturation bombardment.
Under the AI control of the Steel Sword Autonomous Rotating Turret, every square inch was systematically targeted, ensuring complete and utter annihilation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Scar Dog stepped out of the armored vehicle and stood beside it, gazing at the distant smoke-filled sky and the trails of fiery projectiles streaking across the horizon. In a daze, he pulled a cigarette from his pocket, clamped it between his fingers, and muttered to himself.
"No matter how many times I see this scene, I'll always love it."
"I remember the Ten Thousand Races Arena described the human race as a very resilient race, right?"
"Actually, I don't really agree with that assessment. The human race should be described as very vengeful."
"They've been hunting us down for three whole months. Now it's time for them to feel the fury of the human race's counterattack."
Chen Jiang stepped out of the vehicle, leaned against the door, and gazed at the notifications continuously popping up before him.
[Ding! Congratulations, Player Chen Jiang, for successfully eliminating 128 mechanical race members.]
[Since the human race and the mechanical race are in a state of declared war, you have been awarded 128 merit points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Player Chen Jiang, for successfully eliminating 218 mechanical race members.]
[Due to the state of war between the human and mechanical races, you have been awarded 218 merit points.]
In less than five minutes, he had already accumulated over 2,000 merit points.
The race kill rankings now looked like this:
[Race Kill Rankings]
[Top Ranking: Mechanical Race, Feng Jiutian]
[Alien Race Kills: 3,678]
[Second Ranking: Human Race, Chen Jiang]
[Alien Race Kills: 3,482]
He was now less than 200 merit points behind Feng Jiutian, the mechanical race member holding the top ranking. With his merit points still skyrocketing, he estimated he would surpass Feng Jiutian in just a few more seconds.
"No pressure at all," Chen Jiang chuckled, shaking his head. "Is that all they've got? It seems Feng Jiutian is about to bring utter disgrace to the mechanical race."
Meanwhile—
City 18 finally reacted swiftly, activating its energy shield and reactivating the Spiderweb Air Defense System.
The energy shield, however, proved as thin as paper against armor-piercing bullets, offering virtually no resistance.
The Spiderweb Air Defense System, on the other hand, posed a significant challenge.
One by one, artillery shells were detonated in mid-air by rockets surging from City 18. Only a handful managed to evade the Spiderweb Air Defense System and strike their targets.
But it was too late.
A residential district with no military defenses, and a high-rise one at that, faced with such a massive and indiscriminate bombardment, was destined for a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions.
Now, only a few skyscrapers still swayed precariously in the air. The rest had already collapsed, leaving the entire residential district looking like it had survived the end of the world.
Such a district would naturally house far more than just two thousand people.
However, it was still daytime, not yet seven in the evening, so many residents had yet to return home.
In this world, there was no such thing as a 9-to-5 workday.
Moreover, many were only severely wounded or on the brink of death, and these casualties didn't count toward merit points.
Only when these individuals succumbed to their injuries, either because rescue efforts failed or because no one came to save them, and they bled out, would their deaths contribute to Chen Jiang's merit points.
In other words, the nearly 2,000 merit points Chen Jiang had just gained represented only the mechanical race members who had died instantly during this round of bombardment.
